I removed my leaders and cannot get them back on correctly. My leaders have the markings. I cannot get the top backing leader on so that the markings show up when laid out, the top bar turns forward. Please tell me how on earth I can I get the top leader on so that it rolls properly and I can use the markings on them. When I try attaching the velcro it rolls backwards. I tried watching the video on the HQ website but when Vicki gets to the top leader it doesn't appear to be marked.
Thanks

Answer:

On the "Loading Quilt" demonstration, Vicki is using the marked leaders, but the top leader is attached so that the markings are on the bottom side of the leader. If you would like the markings to show on top as you pull the leader off the pole, flip the leader over and attach it to the velcro on the pole that way. The leader will fold over the attached velcro as you start to roll it, but that is not a problem, it will still roll the quilt on the correct way.

Thank you for letting me know I wasn't crazy. What I did was rip off the Velcro and resewed to the other side, now it is functional (for me)

Thanks
